Description
This is a modern commemorative Special Edition card honouring the Vickers Wellington long-range bomber and the service of No. 9 Squadron, Royal Air Force. The card features a hand-signed pencil signature by Squadron Leader W. Lucas, DFC, MID, a highly decorated veteran who served with the squadron in Europe during the Second World War. No. 9 Squadron is historically significant as one of the RAF oldest units, famously operating the Wellington during early nocturnal bombing raids. The card serves as a historical tribute, likely produced as part of a series of aviation veteran-signed collectibles during the late 20th or early 21st century. Printed text includes: VICKERS WELLINGTON, No. 9 Squadron Royal Air Force, We fly by night, Squadron Leader W. Lucas DFC, MID. A footer note confirms: This Special Edition card has been personally signed by a Veteran who flew the Vickers Wellington while serving with No 9 Squadron in Europe. Dimensions: Approximately 148mm x 210mm (A5).
